Kind of important A/N at the end

I had given my first kiss to Liam and in the moment I didn't regret it at all. 

I stared at Liam after we pulled away from the kiss. My lips were tingling and felt swollen. In fact my whole body felt like it was tingling and my knees were threatening to give out from under me. Since that was my first kiss I had nothing to compare it too but I knew Liam was experience and with the way he was acting it had to be good. Right? He was staring down at me almost in shock or even surprise. 

The longer he stood there staring at me in silence the worry that the kiss wasn't good or that he would turn away from me was starting to grow. I was still pressed tight against him, my heart beating hard in my chest. Automatically I moved my head back waiting for Liam to blow up and start yelling at me. 

"Okay enough smoochy smoochy. Time to take pictures with the rest of the wedding party." Leonardo's voice said interrupting Liam and I's staring contest. With Liam's silence dragging out even more I felt my heart start to sink. He thinks the kiss was a mistake. He will probably yell at me the moment we get home so his parents don't think anything is wrong between us. Pushing back the tears that wanted to fall from my eyes I swallowed the lump in my throat. It was stupid of me to think Liam would like or want to kiss me. I'm so repulsive that the moment after I kissed him he regretted it. Just as I was starting to move out of Liam's strong hold he surprised me by laying a small kiss on my lips again before unwrapping his arms from my waist. 

I stood there shocked trying to process the fact Liam just voluntarily kissed me, again. He wasn't running away or yelling at me in fact he was looking down at me with a small smile on his face. Holding his hand out I slide mine inside his swallowing the shock I was feeling. Instead of feeling shocked I need to relish in the fact that he was acting normal around me. I trailed along side of him as we walked back to the house, the silence around us actually comfortable. The moment we stepped into the house everyone stood up, Lennon shot me a wide grin like she knew what just happened. Next to her Blake smiled winking at Liam and I. 

"Liam go and put this on under your dress shirt." Blake said throwing something blue towards Liam who caught it one handed. He nodded like he knew what it was before sending me a small smile and dropping my hand heading to the bathroom to change. I stared after him my emotions going everywhere. Maybe this is what Lennon was talking about how Liam is great once you get to know him.

"Bridesmaids and groomsmen come here." Leonardo's voice yelled even though we were all right there. Taking my eyes away from where Liam went I looked over at Leonardo but my eyes were drawn to the new person. He was cute, very cute actually. Standing next to Blake he was the same height maybe an inch shorter with short light brown hair. I could only see half of his face but from here I could see a great jawline. There is something about jawlines that are hot on guys. He was dressed like Liam and Blake, a white dress shirt, that showed his well built arms, and black dress pants. I stood there wondering who he is and why he was here not hearing a word being said by Leonardo. I felt a soft nudge on my arm so I pulled my eyes away from the new guy and saw Liam standing next to me looking the same as he did before. 

"Ready to go?" He asked. 

"Uh what?" I asked confused. 

"You didn't hear a word he said did you?" Liam asked a grin spreading across his face. 

"No of course I did. I just didn't hear you." I lied lifting my chin up and folding my arms across my chest turning to face him. 

"Uh huh." He looked at me with a smirk knowing that I was lying. "Then where are we going?" He took a step closer to me. The proximity of him so close to me made my mouth dry and my mind blank for a minute. "Jenna." He taunted. 

"We are going outside." I said. "Come on we don't want to be late." I smirked at him grabbing his hand and pulling him behind me out the door to the backyard. 

"There you are. Would you two stop making out so we can get this done!" Blake yelled at us the moment we stepped through. I blushed but continued on pulling Liam with me. 

"Jenna you are more than welcome to walk with me instead of Liam." Brain called from ahead of us. I let out a laugh as Liam, Blake and the new guy immediately started yelling back at him about him being too old and to find his own girl. It may seem weird that a guy that would could be my grandpa's age was flirting with me but it really wasn't. It was who he was and besides it was friendly flirting not I-Want-You-Now flirting. 

"So who is the new guy?" I whispered to Liam as we followed Leonardo. 

"That is Grayson Patterson. He's a friend from college and works at the company with me." Liam answered.

All of us, Liam's parents and Brian included, walked through the backyard for a few minutes before we finally came to a stop in front of a gorgeous lake. It wasn't huge but it was big enough that you could have canoes and it would be a workout swimming from one side to the other. Trees lined around it making it almost secluded and shady. There was a deck that lead a little ways to the lake. This place was definitely a good idea to take pictures. 

"Okay first lets do a couple with the bride and groom, than with the rest of you." Leo said interrupting my staring. Pushing aside the awkward feeling of having everyone watch Liam and I pose for pictures I let Liam pull me to where Leo wanted us. "I want you guys to hold hands between your bodies and leaning in towards one another. Go." Rolling my eyes I earned a chuckle from Liam next to me as we did as we were told. I couldn't help but feel like Liam and I were pieces of clay being moved and sculpted the way Leo wanted. 

"Why did you pick him?" I muttered to Liam leaning my face towards his. 

"Well you know he is hot. He's kind of my type didn't you know." He answered grinning at me. I couldn't help myself but grin and laugh. I wanted to shake my head at him but with Leonardo yelling at us to stay exactly like that I didn't. 

"I didn't know you fancied men, especially Italian men." I grinned at him. 

"Don't you know the accent is one of the reasons he's my side babe?" He wiggled his eyebrows at me and I let out a loud laugh. 

"Good now turn around with your backs to one another. Bride make a face while you Groom smirk." With Liam's lower back pressed to mine I crossed my arms across my chest scrunching up my face. I could practically feel Liam wearing a giant smirk. We only spent a few more minutes posing before Leonardo gestured for the rest of the group to come over. Having not paid attention all afternoon I realized Julie and Lennon were my bridesmaids while Blake and Grayson were Liam's. I felt sad that I didn't have a say in who my bridesmaids were but at least I have 2 great, nice girls. Besides I didn't want to drag Sophia or Candy into my mess of a life more than I had too. 

"So we are trying the pose that one of the bridesmaids thought of?" Questioned Leonardo and I glanced over at Liam's sister and Lennon confused. 

"Yes." Lennon nodded than turned to me. "You are going to love this idea. I gave each of the boys a superhero t-shirt to wear under their shirts so while we stand next to them they will open their shirts and like they are ripping their shirts with it underneath. I saw it on Pinterest and knew we had to do it." She explained to me. Liking the idea of it I was about to answer 'yes' when the voices of the boys echoed around us. 

"Dude I still don't get why I had to be Iron Man why couldn't I be Batman." Grayson's voice asked almost whining. All three guys were unbuttoning the tops of their shirts a few buttons showing what superhero shirt they got. 

"Because I am cooler than you." Blake said with a smirk. 

"Nobody is cooler than Superman dip weeds." Liam shot in. The three of them were acting like kids arguing which one is the better hero. 

"I can't believe you like that one." I said playfully to Lennon nodding my head to Blake who was currently putting Grayson in a head lock. 

"Well you are marrying that one." Lennon answered right back pointing at Liam who was standing there staring at the two grown men about to wrestle. He seemed to be saying something to them under his breath but I knew it was nothing to get them to stop, probably egging them on.  

"Sadly you are right." 

"Both of your men are such dorks." Julie butted in shaking her at them. 

"Hey yours is currently getting manhandled by Blake." Lennon pointed out. 

"Wait you like Grayson?" I asked turning to her. I could actually see her and him as a cute couple. Plus it would make since for her to like one of Liam's friends, same with Lennon. 

"No it's not a big deal. I just think he's hot." Julie said but the way she was looking over at Grayson I knew it wasn't just a crush, she felt something deeper for him. Next to me Lennon rolled her eyes. 

"We better break them up before they ruin their clothes." I commented to which they both nodded. "Hey guys stop!" I yelled but it wasn't heard over Lennon who marched right up to all three and yelled. 

"Hey dickheads cut it out we want to finish this!" She was practically yelling it in Blake and Grayson's ears making them stop and pull away from one another. "Good boys." She stood on her toes to pat their heads like dogs. I grinned at her shaking my head slightly before going to stand by Liam. While all this was going down Lilly, Adam and Brian were sitting on a bench in the shade silently talking and once in a while looking over at us. Don't even ask me why they were even here. 

"Everyone!" Leo raised his voice at us. "Only a few more pictures the first one lets try all the Bridesmaids standing a little in front of them but to the side holding the shirt like you are ripping it open revealing the hero shirts underneath. While you are doing that look at the camera, you can smile if you want but men look down at your shirts." We all nodded before going to our respected men. Of course it was no surprise Lennon was with Blake and Julie with Grayson. 

"Make sure not to really rip my shirt because you want to see my body." Liam whispered down at me as I gripped the top of his shirt open. 

"Please like I'd like to see your saggy man breasts." I said smiling sweetly back at him before turning towards the camera. I kept my face straight staring into the camera as Liam kept his head down like he was told. The way he was acting with me today caught me so off guard but I liked him acting so carefree and funny. He was actually being nice to me and making sarcastic comments. If he would act like this the rest of the time there would be no trouble with our deal. A small part of me though wanted him to stay cold and mean because I knew if he continued to act like this around me I would have no trouble in falling for him. That was something I couldn't do. 

"Great! Now bridesmaids you guys come over here and groomsmen hold your own shirts open and look down at them. Bride and Groom I want you to look at the camera while the bride holds open the shirt, and groom hands in your pockets. I want your faces straight." Leo instructed. We were all in position when Leonardo yelled 'No!' at Blake and Grayson making them move closer to us. After a few tries he must have been satisfied with it and stopped. (Picture above! I would LOVE to do this at my wedding one day)

For the next 10 minutes Leonardo had me with just my bridesmaids and Liam's with just his groomsmen. I don't know how many pictures we had taken but my mouth was starting to hurt from smiling and my feet from my heels. Everyone around us was starting to become antsy and tired so when Leonardo finally exclaimed that he was done we all breathed out a sigh of relief. Trudging back to the house my stomach growled and my throat was dry. 

The moment we were back inside the cool house Liam's mom went to the kitchen to make some lemonade and a few snacks. I offered to help but of course it was all turned down. Liam and his father lead Leonardo to the door and thanked him while he said the pictures would be done by tomorrow if we wanted to come by and pick them out. As soon as the door closed behind him Blake let out a huge 'Thank God'. Leonardo was definitely different than anyone I had ever met. 

We all sat in the living room gabbing amongst one another for the next few hours. I learned more about Grayson and that he was Liam and Blake's old college roommate, and that he worked in the IT department of Liam's work making sure things were going well at all the hotels they owned and such. I watched as Lennon and Blake argued back and forth about stupid things but never getting really mad at each other. I could tell Blake liked her but wasn't going to admit it, or at least anytime soon. Same went with Grayson and Julie. Grayson seemed oblivious to Julie flirting with him or her side glances. I talked with Brian some more feeling so relaxed around him even though he flirted with me more half the time. For a man at his age he was definitely smooth with the ladies.

The whole time I spent at Liam's family home I laughed and smiled more than I ever have in my life. I felt at home with them and with all the loud conversations happening around me I never felt more apart of something. There was something about all these people that made me drop the barriers I had build around myself after my mother left me. For the first time in a long time I was letting myself go and being happy. I knew that in a years time Liam's parents and sister would probably hate me for none of this was real and I lied to their faces. I knew that after this year I would go back to being someone with no family and no money but I didn't care about that at the moment. I ignored the fact that Liam would probably be back to himself later telling me our kiss was a mistake, and relished in the way he was acting now and how I wanted to kiss him again. I pushed it all to the back of my mind and enjoyed every second of finally feeling like I was part of a family.

Liam's POV 

If you would have told me 2 days ago that I would want to kiss Jenna I would have laughed in your face. But now sitting in my parents living room after having an amazing day all I wanted to do was grab her and kiss her despite everyone in the room. Watching her laugh with my friends and family looking so carefree at the moment made my heart almost ache. Everyone seemed to love her, Brian more than anyone, and seeing the way she acted with them made me want her even more. 

She was a totally different girl than I first thought when I found her. I thought she was some stuck up daddy's girl who was working at a strip club just to piss her dad off. But no she wasn't like what I thought. She worked 2 awful jobs just so she could pay her bills, she had no parents her mother fucking abandoned her. The moment I brought her into my house I wanted to end the deal because I didn't want to deal with her but after her talking back to me on more than one occasion and seeing her with Sky last night made something inside of me shift. Inside of wanting to push her away I wanted to get to know her. I wanted to know what made her tick; what she liked, what she didn't, what her childhood was like, any future dreams. Just the thought of that scared me actually, Liam Stanford falling for a girl is not heard of. But something about Jenna made me want to know more about her. 

When I walked through the door earlier I had a plan in my head on what I was going to do today but all that went out the window the moment I saw her standing there in a beautiful simple dress that hugged her body. Her skin looked tan and her blonde hair was in curls down her back. The dress was simple but she made it look better almost like she walked out of a magazine. Seeing her standing there almost comfortable I could tell she didn't know she was beautiful. She was oblivious to how she looked. Hell if it hadn't been for that kid Garrett telling our secret I would have fired him anyways for how he was staring at Jenna. The way he his eyes traveled her body that night made me want to punch his face so he couldn't look at her again. At least I had no worries around Blake since he was so in love with Lennon to notice anyone else and Grayson knew she was off limits. 

After seeing her there looking almost vulnerable this afternoon I made an unconscious decision to try and act different around her. I was going to use today as the start. While that stupid Italian photographer took our pictures I couldn't help but like the feel of Jenna's body pressed against mine. She was so little against my big frame but she fit perfectly against me somehow. In my head I was silently yelling at Leonardo to put us in a pose to kiss. Last nights almost kiss ran through my mind all night after I walked away from her last night. I regretted the decision to go to my room after helping with Sky and not stay around. I wanted nothing more than Jenna's soft looking lips on mine. 

She was so close to me last night and the look in her green eyes as she stared at me had me wanting to press my lips against hers and I would have if there hadn't been a knock on the door. The moment she pulled away I realized all the naughty thoughts running through my mind. I couldn't help but think of her laying beneath me as I kissed along her neck. There was something so enticing to Jenna that made me want her more than any other woman I have ever wanted. 

As Jenna's face was an inch from mine I stared into her green eyes watching as it seemed she was having an internal battle. If she hadn't kissed me I would have honestly. The moment her lips met mine everything about not falling for her disappeared. Her lips were just as soft as I thought and the soft little moan I don't she was aware she was doing was hotter than anything I have ever heard. I didn't want the kiss to stop and when it did I had to catch my breath. She stared at me with doe eyes making me feel like putty in her hands. I barely heard what Leonardo was saying and clearly Jenna wasn't listening either. Surprising both her and I, I laid a soft kiss to her lips before grabbing her hand and taking her inside. 

The rest of the afternoon I kept the need to kiss her at bay but it was hard as she was pressed against me during the photos. And now seeing her laughing with my family the need was stronger. Jenna was making me feel things I haven't felt in years and what scared me was I liked it. I liked how she talked back to me, how she did the opposite of what I said. Jenna Howard what are you doing to me?

Hi! Wow this chapter is definitely different than any other filler chapter I have written so far. It is kind of not a filler but than it is at the same time. I was going to do something different with this one but since on Monday was my stepdad's bday and my late friends bday I was busy. And today I was busy getting stuff for school and doing things around the house I didn't have much time to really write. Plus tomorrow is my bday so I won't be around to write. That is why this chapter is more of a filler but I wanted to get something out there for you, like my own present for you guys!! 

At least in this chapter you get to see a little of what is going on inside Liam's mind although it is short. And you get to meet a new character! He is kind of just a sudden one but I think I will have him become a bigger role. Grayson Patterson is played by Zac Efron, such a hottie, so he kind of has to have a big role ;) Also you get to see another light side to Jenna and Liam. 

 I may not update for a few days so I am sorry in advance. One reason is I am busy but the other is I read a comment on the last chapter that kind of really pissed me off. I know it shouldn't have but when someone tells me that if I don't update I will lose fans and 'I don't want that'. It really made me mad. In all honestly, and I don't mean this rude to anyone, I update pretty fast! It has only been 3 days since my last update and I don't need someone telling me that if I don't update I will lose fans. Most people on here don't update so fast and by updating within a few short days is amazing or at least it is on my standards. I love to write and it is my escape sometimes but I do have a life outside of here and I don't always have time to update. This is more of a hobby right now than anything else. I am also starting my second year of college next week so updates WILL be slower because of it, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't come and hound me through messages and such to update. I love you all soooooo much and I love that you like this book but it can be a little annoying hearing the word 'update' every two seconds especially when I just barely update. 

Anyways...I hope you guys liked this chapter :) Sorry it isn't much. 

VOTE, COMMENT, AND READ!
